Why after March 29, IELTS test on computer?

(NLDO)- According to the British Council, organizing the IELTS test on computers is suitable for the popularity of current technology, creating a more professional testing environment.

After March 29, 2025, the IELTS exam in Vietnam will switch completely to computer-based format.

The British Council has announced that from March 29, 2025, IELTS in Vietnam will be completely computer-delivered. This change is aimed at providing a faster, more efficient and more convenient test experience for candidates while maintaining the quality and global reliability of the IELTS test.

The British Council offers six outstanding benefits of computer-based testing, including:

- Flexible exam schedule: Candidates can register just 1-2 days before the exam and take the exam on any day of the week, easily arranging a suitable time.

- Fast results: In just about 2 days, candidates will receive results, helping to save waiting time and provide timely support for study, work and settlement plans.

- Opportunity to retake a single skill (One Skill Retake): Candidates can retake any skill - listening, speaking, reading or writing - to improve their score, reducing the cost and time compared to retaking the entire test. One Skill Retake is only applicable to IELTS on computer.

- Friendly, easy-to-use interface: The computer-based test is designed simply, ensuring easy operation, helping candidates focus fully on the test, in order to achieve maximum efficiency.

- The test maintains the same standards: The computer-based test will be exactly the same as the paper-based test in all four skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing), ensuring fairness and international standards.

- Modern trend: Computer-based testing is suitable for the popularity of current technology, creating a more professional testing environment.

The British Council said that candidates who registered for the paper-based IELTS test after March 29 will be contacted by the test center to inform them of alternative options to ensure their rights and best preparation. Candidates will be able to choose one of the following options: Free conversion to the computer-based IELTS test; Free conversion to a paper-based IELTS test date before or on March 29; or receive a full refund of the test fee.
